* Harrisburg starting pitcher Caleb Clay had a forgettable night Friday, giving up seven runs on six hits, a walk and a hit-batsman during 1.2 innings of work in the Senators’ rain-shortened loss at Binghamton. The right-hander suffered his second defeat to the B-Mets in six days, having pitched seven innings in a 6-1 setback Sunday.

* Sens reliever Matt Swynenberg settled down after a rough start Friday. After serving up first baseman Allan Dykstra’s monster two-run home run to dead center field on the first batter he faced in the second, Swynenberg worked four innings. He was charged with just one run on two hits. He walked three batters and struck out one. At the plate, his double down the right-field line scored two runs in the top of the fourth inning.

* Harrisburg third baseman Anthony Rendon continued his hot hitting with doubles in his first two at-bats, including a first-inning two-bagger that chased home shortstop Josh Johnson with the game’s first run. Rendon had a third hit erased by the rain delay in the seventh inning, a single that won’t count since the half inning wasn’t completed before the game was washed out. Rendon also made a stellar bare-handed play at third base to throw out a runner earlier in the night. In his last four games, the 22-year-old infielder has eight hits and six RBIs.

* The Senators scored three times in the fourth and could have had more with two runners on base, one out and Rendon on deck when the B-Mets pulled off a strike-’em-out, throw-’em-out double play. Binghamton starting pitcher Erik Goeddel (3-2) fanned Johnson and B-Mets catcher Blake Forsythe completed the twin-killing by nailing center fielder Brian Goodwin trying to steal second base. It wasn’t a strong night offensively for Goodwin, who also struck out twice and had a third whiff erased when the seventh-inning stats did not count.

* With Harrisburg down by four runs, pinch hitter Sean Nicol led off the top of the seventh with a walk. After B-Mets reliever Jack Leathersic struck out Goodwin and Johnson looking, Rendon singled. Left fielder Jared Head had a 2-2 count when umpires stopped play because of heavy rain. The delay was officially 39 minutes before the game was called off.
